Absence continues to make the heart grow fonder.

Muscular French "Chibiz" are the future!

With Jon Lindemann sitting in the host's chair for the jet-setting Jonathan Metts and the calamity of Episode 103 still fresh in everyone's memory, only someone with a title as sober-sounding as "Senior Editor" could be trusted to maintain the maturity of the show, and so Radio Trivia host Michael "TYP" Cole joins the rest of the usual crew for another extensive episode of RFN.

After a New Business segment that includes James making friends with Winnie the Pooh and the unthinkable combination of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and vocal communication, the discussion shifts to the news, including: Mega Man 9 for WiiWare, Castlevania's unanticipated foray into 3D fighting, and Ubisoft's continuing attempts to force James into anger management therapy.

In the final segment, the gang responds to a healthy dose of mail mostly directed at Jonny (naturally), running the gamut of listener concerns from Boom Blox's lacklustre sales to the very survival of the survival horror genre. So sit back, enjoy, and discover James' deep-seated fear of men's biceps.

Downloading now, TYP seems way to sensible and level headed for this to episode to become truly epic.

Sweet, had to wake up at 5am for work and now I have something to listen to!

Ah, you've just made my Thursday! Hardly anyone is in the office since tomorrow's a holiday, so I can just relax and listen while I write code and do some paperwork.

I bought Nanostray 2 myself. Its a decent shooter allright, however, two big complaints I have is its exceedingly hard, and the style couldn't be more generic if it tried. Now that I have Invaders, I'll be selling this one away.

I had to get it done last night, or it wasn't getting done till Sunday. Despite having to get up at 4:45 AM I solidered on to finish this.

Totally Worth it.

Lindy did a great job hosting even with the Wormhead trying usurp his power.

Thanks for the kind words all. I did my best to keep things under control! Hosting is definitely a different experience, since you have to keep track of what's going on and act like a referee of sorts (especially with James). I can't just space out like I normally do.

My favorite part is when James indignantly says, "I don't know man, you're the host!" like I wasn't doing my job, when I was actually giving him the floor as part of my HOSTING DUTIES.

No respect, I tell ya. No respect.

Now you guys know why I had to go apeshit on 103. I was out of my element! I was so used to keeping things orderly on RFN, that I had all of that pent up potty-mouth!

In any case, kudos to Lindy. It's not an easy gig being host, but he did very well.

Also, I laughed my ass off to, "SAVE IT FOR THE SHOW GUYS!" Holy ****, TYP, fucking ACE.

Why do I get the feeling that this is a trap?

That settles that!

I have to admit that I was a little miffed at the point at which you guys were talking about survival/horror games, Fallout 3 wasn't mentioned. Although, not coming out for the Wii, it is one of the big games to come out this year. And good job to John (sp?) for hosting for a change. I have to admit, I welcomed it. It was a nice change for once, I can't remember if he did before or not, but I liked his hosting abilities. It was also nice hearing TYP again on the podcast.

LOL. I remember when I saw that for download off Nintendo channel I laughed and imminently downloaded it out of morbid curiosity. That and Lords of thunder are two ongoing jokes that I never grow tired of. When the review is finally posted it will be a MEGATON EVENT.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:11:10 AM »

Not sure I'd call Condemned, or even Jericho survival horror, they are both action oriented games. Even the RE series is going in a more action oriented direction. Also aren't the Fallout games more RPGish?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #24 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:20:24 AM »

You have a good point, what does differntiate survival horror from other genres? The whole survival horror genre (like many genres this generation) is having trouble evolving. That's where I give Alone in the dark credit. It's at least trying to add new things and evolve the genre rather than morph it into the action shooter genre.
